Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the minister, who, I would note, often appears before this committee and is generous with his time.
Minister, in the last hour, your deputy minister said that, according to the department's projections, the number of persons entering Canada irregularly would be 50,000 for all of 2022. However, I've just seen the figures recently released for October, and we're up to 31,000 irregular entries at Roxham Road.
How can the department anticipate 20,000 more irregular entries in two months, November and December? I'm not sure the department has the right figures.
